TNE Oil vs water based

This is my personal take on TNE as it pertains to the different types of solutions.
I now have pretty good experience using both oil based and water based TNE as a pre workout supplement.


I first started with PSL's TNE in oil. It is 100mg/mL so I would pin 100mg 1 hour pre workout.

Noticed:

PROS

-more sustained energy
-better pumps
-faster recovery between sets.
-no pip whatsoever

CONS

-Felt like it wasn't fully kicked in until several hours later.
-I smelt it coming out my poors.
-I could taste the strong flavor of the oil in my breath.
-Felt a but flu-y on the come down.

I thought this was the best thing going. I raved about it on the forums.



Then I was given a sample of PSL's water based TNE to give a review on. It was only 50mg/mL Unlike oil based, it wasn't dissolved in the solution. It was a fine powder suspended in water. The powder had settled at the bottom so a good shake of the vial was necessary before drawing. I used a 25g 1" pin to draw and replaced it with another 25g 1" pin to inject. COULD NOT get the stuff to come out. I got discouraged and continued to use the oil based thinking it was better.

Well not too long after I was having a convo with our friend VISION. He told me I had to try the water based TNE. He told me he shot it with a 28g slin pin which I thought was impossible. I had some 27g so I gave it one more shot. He told me just shoot it subQ into the belly fat. Turns out if you hold it horizontal, it prevents the powder from settling in the syringe and clogging the tip.

Despite shooting subQ instead of IM....this stuff hit me within the hour. Unlike the oil based, I could actually feel it kick in. It was a cool wave of adrenaline, followed by a great sense of motivation and well being. The initial rush was a bit strange. It was almost like a hot flash followed by a cold sweat. But after that passed I hit the weights.

Noticed:

PROS

-huge pumps
-awesome vascularity (i had none prior because I lose my veins when I'm bulking.)
-Increased aggression which led to extra forced reps
-Faster recovery between sets
-could not would not leave the gym, had to throw in a small leg session at the end to satisfy myself
-you could "feel" the kick in so you knew when it was time to hit the gym
-50mg was MORE than enough

CONS


-tough to control e2 spike (woke up with bacne)
-small amount of pip


CONCLUSION

Water based is an overall better pre workout supplement. It hits faster, and harder despite being only half the concentration of the oil based. 50mg of water based was superior to 100mg of the oil based due to it hitting the blood stream quicker. Also you can conveniently pin the water based subQ. Oil based may be better for cycling purposes but water based is better for pre workout hands down.

That's my opinion on the two different types of TNE. Thanks for listening :)
 
Interesting. I never dared to try tne subq. Did you have any lump issues?
No lump brother. I bit of soreness the next day but other than that fairly painless. You CAN pin it IM if you desire, but I found this method to be easier and just as effective.
 
Hmm. I'm still working on some oil based TNE made with guiacol, so I still don't dare try it, haha. But thanks for the input.

​Lol yea maybe stick to IM with the oil based.

Does the guiacol smell ever bother you? It stinks up my room for days if I leave a used syringe in the trash. I can also smell it and taste it hours after pinning it and I know people at the gym can smell it coming out my pours lol.
 
My wife refuses to be around me when I use TNE (oil based). But she does not even notice the Test Suspension (water based), so I have completely moved to it. I LOVE them both, though.

The key to the water based is to shake the living shit out of it before drawing, to break up any clumps that may have formed. Pins smoothly and easily then.
 
Yeah, when I use it, my wife complains sometimes. Sometimes the smell is stronger than other times. Kinda weird. I keep the vial in 2 ziplock bags (especially because the vendor I use sells it in a 50ml jug). Pins are discarded in an empty protein jug sealed tightly.

Next time I'm going to look for suspension, or at least something that doesn't use guiacol.

That's a good idea using the protein jugs for the sharps disposal. I might have to consider that if I ever go back to oil based. But as long as PSL keep putting out water based....I have no reason to go back to oil. Water based takes the cake for me.
 
I just do it for all my sharps. I have a 7 year old, and while I have no reason to believe he would take an interest in digging through the trash, I leave nothing to chance. Hehe
 
Just want to give an update. Tried IM pinning with water based. All I can say is WOW. It kicked in so fast. Literally within 15 minutes I was getting hot flashes and started sweating. All my lifts were up. I was doing my usual weight with ease and got bored with it so bumped everything up. My forearms were spider webs. Mind you, I'm mid bulk and have no veins during the day currently. Just what I needed to get my ass to the gym at 4:30 am.
 
I WILL NEVER AGAIN USE WATER BASED TNE , I HAVE USED BOTH OIL AND WATER TESTOSTERONE NO ESTER, AND THE OIL WORKED JUST AS WELL, AND WAS PAINLESS!

Strange. I had a very different experience. The oil didn't have the kick that the water based did. It seems the oil slows the release into the blood stream. I noticed a much better result from water based with just half the dose. Have you tried subQ pinning with water based? I shot it right in the belly fat with no pain at all.
 
NO NEVER USED IT SUBQ BRO, I JUST KNOW WATER BASED GEAR IS MUCH MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BACTERIA GROWING THEN OIL IS, AND I WAS IN HOSPITAL FOR A WEEK FROM A BAD BOTTLE OF WATER BASED WHICH IM GUESSING HAD BACTERIA THROUGHOUT, AS I GOT INSTANTLY SICK FROM IT,

IN ANY CASE, THATS JUST MY EXPERIENCE, AS FOR THE OIL SLOWING IT DOWN, ITS LITERALLY SO CLOSE TO WATER THAT THE DIFFERENCE ISNT EVEN WORTH MENTIONING, SO TNE IN OIL WILL HIT YOU JUST AS FAST AS WATER WILL, THE OIL DOESNT PLAY AS A BIG A ROLE IN THE RELEASE AS ONE MIGHT THINK, I USE TO THINK THE SAME THING, BUT THEN TRIED IT, AND FOUND IT TO BE THE SAME AND THEN POSTED A STUDY ON IT SHOWING THE RELEASE IS NOT THAT MUCH SLOWER, IT IS A LIL SLOWER, BUT NOT BY MUCH.
 
I am going to assume that in order to do the subq route with an insulin pin, you have to draw with a larger needle and then back load the insulin pin? I actually have some 27g 1/2" twist lock pins for my regular needles, I will have to try just replacing the tip.
